Sweet chickens do taste very good, you may want to look into another thread, we tend to raise and eat birds in this section !!.

I have a few standard wlr from Ideal, they are only about 12 weeks old, but are definantly not show birds, they are really leggy.  My bantam cornish are very nice and meaty, I didn't get them from a hatchery.

These birds are only popular in certain chicken world sectors, But you won't find many on these threads as it isn't the huggy pie kissy poo type chickens that most everybody here go Ga-Ga over and they are not the pet Foo-Foo type lawn ornament chicken that seems to be the ( TRENDY ) type designer chicken most BYCer's like. They are great birds but do and should have a purpose as a breed. Now if you choose to go that route through a good breeder they can be a little higher $$ as like I said they aren't designer chickens and bring a premium price for good stock and can be a tad bit more chalenging to raise, thats why you don't see much of them on sites like these.

If this breed still sounds good to you after doing more research I can send you some links to good sites of quality WLR Cornish birds.

Me too!!!!!!  Don't forget me!!  I would love to have some good Cornish--I don't think I realize what really great Cornish look like. I only have hatchery stock and pictures just aren't the same.

Thanks Al
